Female patient, 44 yrs. old has Celiac disease, hypothyroid, and sleep apnea. Is there a correlation between the 3?

From what I've been reading, there do seem to be connections/correlations, etc. between all three (and more) of these things! Hard to say which comes first. My husband has a 90% blockage in his throat/terrible sleep apnea. He just had the UPPP surgery. Coincidentally, my 5 year old daughter is suspected of Celiac -- so I've been learning about that, too -- and I'm surprised at how many of my husband's symptoms are showing up when I read about my daughter. Yes -- please have your dr. do a full Celiac panel (bloodwork) -- and then get a small intestine biopsy, too, perhaps. AND see an ENT re: sleep apnea, CPAP machine, possible surgeries, etc. The hypothyroid will most likely clear up as the other two issues are addressed. BEST wishes to you! I hope you're feeling better soon. Sincerely, Cara
